longer than this. Don’t worry though we’ll keep you updated at key stages a long the way.

The FSCS limits compensation to £50,000 for claims against firms declared in default after the 1st January 2010. Prior to this it is £48,000.

The FOS can rule up to £150,000 but further losses can be pursued through the courts.

Who receives the compensation?

If a claim with the FSCS is successful then generally Hallbrook will receive a cheque within 10 days of the decision letter. That compensation is
banked in a segregated client account, our fee is deducted and the client is sent the balance within 5 days.

What happens to my shares?

The FSCS will value your shares at the date the stockbroker was declared in default. If the shares held a value at that date it will be deducted from the price you paid for them.
